This is I think the one that was sold at the Brooklands Classic Auction in September for around £9k.
I went down to look at its and was told that it was a finanace recovery that has been stood for 4 years. The person that brought the car may have done some work on it but when I inspected it it had the following defects, The egine would fire but not run a mechanic who had looked at it for the auction house told me is was the ignition switch, I was told the gearbox had an electrical fault and would not selct gears, It had a rip in the hood and needed a new cover, the hood would not lower, the passenger window did not lower, the drivers door frame seal was torn, it needed 4 new tyres and a wheel reburb, it had various chips and scratches in the paintwork, and the doors had some small dents, the heat shields beneath the boot needed tidying and the seats and interior needed some work.
Although by looking at the interior you would have thought the mileage was incorrect when I checked the tyres i identified the front michelins and were 2002 and the rears 2006 so i think the mileage is probably correct. The mechanic who I spoke to and said he had had the car running and the engine was fine. I had intended to bid for the car uo to £7k but something come up which mean't I could not attend on the Saturday.
